Abstract

The present invention provides a solution prepared by using chtosan oligosaccharide, and adds said solution to tobacco (shreds) to raise quality and function of tobacco (shreds). The application of chtosan oligosaccharide solution not only can obviously raise moisture retention and bacterostasis of tobacco (shreds) in the course of storage and processing, but also can simultaneously obviously raise the combustion property, flavor and refreshing effect of tobacco, and can reduce harmful substances which can be produced in smoking process, such as nicotine, aldehydes with ciliary toxicity, formic acid, acetic aid and hydrocyanic acid, etc.

Description

A kind of method of utilizing chitosan oligosaccharide to improve tobacco (silk) quality and effect

The manufacturing of technical field cigarette

Background technology mainly concentrates on the research of the aspects such as absorption, detoxification and increase taste that Applied Physics, chemistry and biological method carry out the pipe tobacco Toxic in the research aspect relevant quality cigarette of cigarette manufacturing and the quality.Existing technology has that to use syrup, sucrose, honey and some Chinese herbal medicines be tobacco shred additive with the taste that increases cigarette and the research of detoxification aspect, the amino acid of application and organic acid etc. is also arranged as Application of Additives.To related data and patent inquiry, sugar is raw material commonly used in the cigarette feed liquid according to the inventor, and the selection of its kind, consumption and harmony have significant effects to the treatment effect of feed liquid, also is that tobacco is studied the earliest, uses one of maximum raw material.The famous tobacco expert Weiss FJ of the U.S. once showed: do not have sugar, American blended type cigarette just can not obtained great success like this in this century.Nineteen sixty-five, Yoshitani H. finding during with the proportioning of material and the relation research between the igniting and sucking quality material, when the proportioning of sugar in the material agent and glycerine is 2: 1.5, can improves the suction of cigarette with the consumption of aniseed agent and distinguish the flavor of.When sugar material in the agent constant rate and when improving the ratio of glycerine, the suction flavor of cigarette improves the soft property increase of flue gas.In the middle of several material agent prescriptions, prescription: the effect of sugar 2.0%, glycerine 1.0%, propane diols 0.5% is best, and the cigarette of handling with this material agent has good suction flavor.1967, Japanese scholar studied the syrup be made up of invert sugar again and the reinforced effect of the material agent formed with glycerine and propane diols.Nineteen sixty-eight, Abdallah F. has reported with maple maple syrup, honey and the extract of licorice root effect as cigarette sugar material.1973, the tobacco researcher of the former Soviet Union adopted food industry softening agent caramel honey commonly used to carry out various reinforced tests in order to increase the tobacco pliability, to reduce the broken consumption of making of pipe tobacco during rolling, and the result adds 0.6% caramel honey best results.1979, the Jin Aoxi newspaper, sugared material can make cigarette odor-absorbing intensity that certain reduction is arranged, and excitant and bitter taste alleviate, and also have humectation effect preferably.Some sugar material (as glucose) plays good action to the performance of cigarette flavor, makes it more graceful, pure.1984, Lee TH adopted 6 kinds of sugar (maltose, sucrose, fructose, glucose, mannose and lactose), consumption 2%～10%) handle the low order flue-cured tobacco, 10min is cured in reinforced back under 135 ℃, measure the variation of tarry matters in smoke, nicotine, pH and fragrance then.The result is that the glucose of adding 5%～6% can make the nicotine amount in the flue gas reduce by 19%, add 4% glucose or fructose, tar reduces by 16%, and add 4% sucrose or lactose, but make tar content increase 5%～8%, by contrast, the tobacco leaf that adds glucose and fructose is inhaled flavor to plant sugar than other youngster good.1988, Sun Liguo proposed, and, had the flue gas of mediation and inhaled flavor intensity as cigarette sugar material with malt sugar (containing the more maltose of moisture), assorted gas is covered in abirritate, improves pleasant impression, set off the effect of fragrance, simultaneously, its humectation effect is strong than sucrose (white sugar or brown sugar) also.Cao Qiang proposed in 1991, and stevioside has flavouring, seasoning, fixation, mildew-resistant, falls the effect of Jiao and reduction cigarette cost.Stevioside is joined and usefulness as if mixing with sucrose, adds a spot of natrium citricum again, can improve the solubility of sucrose, helps the performance of sweet taste and the absorption of tobacco, can give the local flavor of cigarette uniqueness again.Simultaneously, stevioside can quicken the quiet combustion of cigarette, is easy to completing combustion.Stevioside sugariness height in addition, consumption is few, partly or entirely replaces sugar material or other to contain sugar substance with stevioside, can reduce the cigarette smoke tar content greatly.If with stevioside replacing whole sucrose, the cost of comparable use sucrose reduces more than 50%.In sum, in tobacco leaf, add an amount of sugar material or contain sugar substance, can reduce the excitant of cigarette, alleviate assorted gas and improve the suction flavor.Simultaneously, also can increase the pliability of tobacco leaf, making in the minimizing processes is broken.In sum, sugar is expected to have increase tobacco leaf pliability, is reduced and make effect broken, that reduce the cigarette excitant, alleviate assorted gas and improvement suction flavor, but the monose of high dose and disaccharide also have the trend that tarry matters in smoke and nicotine amount are increased.Not using chitosan oligosaccharide is that additive is to increase the research of cigarette quality and anti-corrosive fresh-keeping.

Summary of the invention the present invention relates to utilize chitosan oligosaccharide to prepare a kind of chitosan oligosaccharide that obtains, and it is applied to improve in the tobacco (silk) method of its quality and effect.The present invention selects for use the chitosan oligosaccharide of weight average molecular weight＜5000Da as additive in the cigarette, chitosan oligosaccharide (Chitosan oligosaccharide), and formal name used at school is β-1,4-oligomerization-gucosamine, its design feature is to contain a large amount of-NH during branch gives ₃With-existence of polar group by force such as OH.Chitosan oligosaccharide is that the carbohydrate of regulating physiological function is arranged, have effects such as moisture-absorbing moisture-keeping, antibacterial bacteriostatic, be widely used at aspects such as health food, biological medicine, cosmetics, be to confirm to have a kind of oligosaccharides of extensive BA through medical research, nineteen ninety, U.S. FDA was decided to be " GRAS ", and it is edible to can be used as normal food.This additive is adsorbed in the cigarette of making on the pipe tobacco surface with 0.1-1% concentration through sprinkling and has the following advantages:

1, additive has active-NH ₃With-OH, have two keys and exist, have the ability of harmful substances such as absorption nicotine.

2, preparation itself has very strong non-oxidizability and biocidal property, and pipe tobacco is played anticorrosion, antibiotic and fresh-keeping effect.

3, said preparation is sprayed onto the cigarette of making behind the pipe tobacco and can produces pyrazine and caramelization flavor substance when anoxycausis, can increase the fragrance matter and the perfume quantity of cigarette.

4, said preparation has characteristics easy to use, that dosage is low in addition, is a kind of additive that improves tobacco quality and local flavor, is suitable for being applied to the tobacco industry.

The specific embodiment

Select for use the chitosan oligosaccharide of weight average molecular weight＜5000Da to be made into 1% additive.At first make 2% oligosaccharide solution, add food grade ethanol (purity 〉=95%) again and make (containing 50% ethanol) solution of 1% with aseptic running water.With above solution pipe tobacco is carried out even spraying, spray amount is that 100: 0.5 amount is carried out by tobacco leaf weight and oligosaccharides weight ratio, and promptly the 100Kg tobacco leaf sprays 0.5 liter of said preparation.Preserve to the water content of regulation shredded tobacco baking standby.
